Red, White and Blueberry Salsa

Red, White and Blueberry Salsa

Happy July 4th!!! *  I made this delicious fruit salsa for a party last July 4th.  I got the inspiration from an amazing kiwi salsa recipe I created a few months prior (recipe to come soon!!) that all my friends and family love.  I wanted to stay with the red, white and blue theme this time, so instead of kiwis I used blueberries.  Definitely an unexpected blend of flavors, but they work well together and it is a perfect dish to bring to a hot outdoor picnic. Serve with organic blue corn chips, or on top of chicken or fish tacos!  

* I have included an updated version of this salsa that also uses tomatoes, and all fresh blueberries.  Both are delicious!
